Welcome Back Gorzycki Families!  I hope that you had a wonderful summer and were able to spend time relaxing.

Things were never quiet here at GMS.  With all the many different camps, students were always on campus.  There was the Steal Guitar Camp, Dance Camp, Strength and Conditioning Camp, Band Camp, Football Camp, Volleyball, Basketball, and Tiger Camp.  I am sure I forgot a few.  But needless to say, there was lots of activity on campus.

There was also lots of interviewing.  Mrs. Garnett - 6th/7th ELA, Ms. Christensen - 6th Math, Mrs. Snyder, Ms. Ranson are both 7th ELA, Ms. Alver - 7th Math, Mr. Nyc - 7th Social Studies, Mrs. Hernandez - Life Skills, Mr. De la Garza - Asst. Band Director, Mrs. Army - Sped. Teacher Assistant, and Officer Melton - SRO.  I think they are all going to be great additions to the GMS family.  The other two positions were for Mr. Ryan - AP and Mrs. Johnson - Counselor.  We quickly found Mr. Ryan's replacement, Mrs. Black who was the interim AP early this spring and a Reading teacher on campus.  Unfortunately we have not been successful in finding a counselor replacement.  Currently we have Ms. May, a GMS retired counselor, helping us out.  Notify me if you know of someone interested in the position.

Everyone has been busy this week as well.  Students have been registering daily.  Counselors have been working every second of the day preparing schedules for students.  Don't forget that students will need to find their name on one of the many posters to determine where they go first period.  During first period, they receive their actual schedules.  This information was sent to families through  School Messenger and our parent google account.  If you didn't receive either, then the school doesn't have your current information.  Most of this can be corrected through the Parent Cloud or on the school website.  Teachers have been busy too.  Time was spent building relationships, learning new instructional stategies, and creating great learning environments.

We are excited to see the students on Monday.  Please be patient with the traffic.  It is always worse the first week.  Have a great last summer weekend.

Go Tigers!
